Wage Peace provides strategic messaging and digital support for campaigns and groups disturbing war and militarism in Australia.
We organise and mobilise to dismantle the military-industrial complex. Over the last few years since inception, we’ve helped activists all over Australia to challenge military companies' presence at universities, to protest the US military base at Pine Gap, to end public investments in weapons and to put an end to our US military dependence.
We help amplify activists' messages by working together, finding intersections across our movements and providing strategic advice.
Wage Peace is a project of Australian Nonviolence Projects.
We are seeking a talented individual with experience coordinating activist campaigns to develop and lead a strategy to confront weapons manufacturers doing business in Australia.
This role will require you to think politically and creatively as you work with others to identify strategic objectives to oppose and demonstrate alternatives to US weapons manufacturers and their influence on government spending and foreign policy.
The first 6 months of the role will involve supporting with the Make West Papua Safe campaign as they expose and oppose Australia’s involvement in training the Indonesian military and propping up their violent occupation of West Papua.
Following this, the role will be focused on developing a campaign around the increasing presence of weapons manufacturers in Australia.
